Custom Wood Newel Posts

A Newel Post, also called a central pole, is the upright post that supports the handrail of a stair banister. In staircases having straight flights it is the large post at the foot of the stairs, but it can also be used for the intermediate posts on landings and at the top of a staircase. The primary purpose of a Newel Post is structural, but it is a marvelous place to add decorative trim or make an architectural statement.

There are two types of Newel Posts: Turned and Box. Turned newels are made of solid wood, which is turned or milled into a decorative profile. Box newels are made from hollow wooden boxes with a wooden cap molded at top.
